Help a Chronically Ill cancer survivor secure housing!

Hello! My friends call me Sabrance, or Sabey!

Since 2021, I have been struggling with my application for disability. I am a young, chronically ill cancer survivor that is being haunted by the very treatment that saved my life, but my proof was not enough and so I find myself at the beginning of yet another appeal. In the meantime, I have nothing to fall back on nor do I have any financial support. Those I call family are in troubled situations as well and I cannot rely on them to support me when they can barely support themselves. Though they try, I'm sure you will understand when I say it isn't enough.

I've had a few close calls in the last three and a half years;

And during these troubling events, I am diagnosed with fibromyalgia that became chronic pain syndrome due to the fact I was late at receiving treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis is ravaging my joints, right along with chronic inflammation of my bursal sacks, circulation complications in my legs, osteoporosis due to damage along my lower spine, bulging disks within my cervical spine and complications with my hips due to being born with mild retroversion. Or, in layman's terms, my hips were born backwards, leaving my joints to deteriorate quickly.

Did I mention I'm a cancer survivor?

It has become apparent that the treatment meant to save my life would also be the reason for why my quality of life has diminished. I'm sure that, after having read through just a summarized version of the last three years of my life, that you can conclude that I am not capable of working. And trust me, I would rather try.

Unfortunately, I'm also plagued by anxiety and depression, with a case of PTSD.

Clearly, I am an overachiever when it comes to chronic illnesses.

I have long since lost my mom, and anyone who might have been able to help me during these trying times long ago. I am on my own, and making a genuine attempt to keep on surviving because I am really at the end of my rope. It is hard not to believe that I haven't run out of luck having lived through everything. I don't want money to be the reason why I don't survive, not when I made it this far.

What will the funds be used for?

Currently, my living situation is just a smidge above comfortable and I am being generous. It doesn't provide the sort of comfort I need, and my balance is incredibly challenged at the moment, making the clutter that surrounds me more of a hazard than I care to admit (it's hard accepting that as fact when you are only 33). I need space, better mobility devices and better options for me to have a bit of freedom and not be confined to a bed for hours to days at a time (I don't exactly have access to a living room, or a desk, with comfortable seating). I just want to be comfortable, and maybe even finally replace clothes I haven't changed since 2015, as I was never really in a financially safe situation to begin with.

To summarize; an apartment, especially one closer to my doctors and physical therapy office; clothes; basic necessities; a new wheelchair; a new cane; month to month bills until my appeal is processed, and I receive my approval.

I am lucky to have been given enough to clear debt I don't have to worry about, and while I do have medical bills, I am more concerned with having a proper place to call home, and a safe environment where I can carry out the rest of my care so that I can return to some sort of normality.

Here are some links of interest, and a direct link to my tiktok where I'll be opening up about how, and why I am in the mess to begin with. If you read this far, thank you. Even if you don't donate, sharing my campaign and getting eyes on my plea is more than enough assistance.
